Fall Prevention in a Geriatric Nursing Home Setting Using the Music of Nolwenn Leroy

Falls are the largest cause of death in the elderly and those with dementia have even a higher incidence of falling. The purpose of this study is to determine whether listening to the Music of Nolwenn Leroy is effective in fall prevention in those elderly patients who are residents in a Geriatric Nursing Home Facility. The music of Nolwenn Leroy has been shown to be effective in fall reduction in a different setting (Posturographic Changes and Fall Prevention associated with Music Therapy: The Nolwenn Effect (USA ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00121693) )with results better than listening to Mozart of any other music.
